Today our big event was to get to the top of Gornergrat with views of the Matterhorn and other 4,000m peaks.
Gornergrat is easily accessible from Zermatt station via the Gornergrat Bahn - a normal train that ascends to the summit and takes 33 minutes. There are plenty of photo ops along the way and you can get out at various stops to hike if you wish.
We went up to the summit where the Kulm Hotel is the second highest hotel in Europe. We thought about staying there instead of in Zermatt, but we were glad we chose the more -in-town option based on our interests. The scenery from the hotel and grounds though is amazing and we arrived on a relatively clear day.
We got spectacular pictures of the Matterhorn and surrounding mountain ranges.
When we got back to town, we ate at Pollux - which is a hotel with three restaurants. We ended up eating at Restaurant Arvenstube. They have Raclette, but we opted for fish and lamb which were both delicious.
Then Shellie bought a Swiss watch as an upgrade for her 20 year old watch.
